Saints Donat and Venusta, brother and sister, suffered for their faith in Rome. When Emperor Diocletian ordered Christians to sacrifice to idols, they refused. Donat was beaten, stretched on a rack, and burned with torches. Venusta, witnessing her brother's torture, confessed her belief in Christ and endured similar torments. They were eventually beheaded.
Lord, may the prayers of #Saints Donat and Venusta intercede for us, strengthening our resolve to remain steadfast in our #Faith.
